As a delayed PS here, cron, despite my best incantations, is still
sending me failure emails, cannot open display 0:0.
Humm, thats is a direct command from crontab to xset. Theory:
If I put an sh in front of the command, will that sh then see the results
of the xhost + command in the .bashrc?
Worth a try I think.
